Hi All,

At what age or set of circumstances do you feel is/are appropriate for a puppy to be taken to an adoption event at a local pet store? Please weigh in with thoughts on this and Thank You!!!

I'd be inclined to say ASAP even if they aren't put up for adoption. They are an awesome way to socialize puppies and honestly rescue events are a LOT for a dog to get used to. Lots of chaos and other dogs and people grabbing/touching/petting. Getting a dog prepared to go to a rescue event (behaviorally) can be harder than getting them ready for adoption sometimes!

If you're trying to get the puppy adopted ASAP.

If it's your puppy that you've adopted, wait till he's had all his shots.
